After Interpretation: From Critique to Creativity,
or When Law Professors Turn to Fiction
Moderator:
Sarah A. Krakoff, University of Colorado
Speakers: - Stephen Lisle Carter, Yale Law School
- Thomas C. Grey, Stanford Law School
- Marianne Wesson, University of Colorado
This panel will explore what it means for the practice of interpretation when law professors turn from critiquing texts to creating them. Does it signal anything about the exhaustion of interpretation? Does it indicate that the academic's craft of torturing texts for meaning has become less satisfactory than the artist's craft of creating meaning? What do law professors learn about their own interpretive practices when they risk becoming the object of those same techniques? These and other questions will be discussed by two law professors who have written novels and a third who has written fiction as well as creative non-fiction.
